Testimonials from those who’ve worked with Nicola

"We have had fantastic feedback on our guest speaker Nicola Whiting following a recent lunchtime Circle2Success event. Attendees really enjoyed listening to Nicola and many of us could relate to the conversation, especially the Instagram Factor! I myself have reflected on a number of key messages and often suffer from Mary Poppins syndrome myself and try to make everything perfect! On reflection this is not a strength but a weakness and Nicola has inspired me to look at these things within myself and adopt a better approach with my team and my children. I personally got lots from the event, and have nothing but thanks for Nicola and her generosity to CCP, giving her time and sharing a part of herself with us.….The feedback we’ve had from the attendees has been excellent, everyone enjoyed listening to Nicola, the topic, her humour, inspiration and honesty – very refreshing and real! We're very much look forward to our boardroom session with Nicola in September."

Angela Edwards - Co-Founder & Director, Circle2Success Ltd

"Nicola delivered a fabulous presentation to our clients and guests. The feedback I received was very positive, with everybody saying that the presentation was informative and very entertaining. Particularly fascinating were the insights in to how our buying decisions are influenced by neuro science factors and our 'inner chimp'. I will certainly be reading Professor Steve Peters 'The Chimp Paradox'. Ducketts pride ourselves on offering our clients and professional associates valuable content and presentations that inspire and help them prosper in business. Nicola certainly delivered this in spades and it was terrific to see the audience completely gripped, during the talk. The proof of the pudding is that we would love Nicola to come and present again at one of our forthcoming events."

Martyn Wright – Chris Duckett Ltd

“Nicola is a thoroughly engaging speaker who really goes the extra mile to deliver thought-provoking content. Nicola is naturally a very warm and friendly person, who has an excellent ability to use wit and humour to keep complex subject matters digestible and interesting. Overall, a brilliant speaker with excellent feedback from delegates who attended our event.”

Matthew Slater - Marketing Officer, BCRS Business Loans

“Nicola has worked with us as a Strategic Sales Speaker & Mentor for our Cyber 101 programme, backed by DCMS and delivered by The Accelerator Network, Inogesis & Digital Catapult. She brings a refreshing approach to her keynote presentation and is clearly able to articulate the importance of understanding the customer and speaking in their voice. This is mission critical advice for our cyber security companies to help them be more strategic in their sales approach. In her mentoring sessions she is able to provide practical insight to the companies as to how they can improve their current sales strategy, other areas they might want to consider and tools they could use to create efficiencies. All of this insight is so incredibly valuable to founders of cyber security businesses - as they are learning from someone who has been there and done it which then enables them to ensure they are working with best practice - setting them up to win! Not only is Nicola an expert in this space but, perhaps most importantly, she is very approachable & friendly, which means it is very easy for the teams to speak with her. Nicola is well respected in the industry and it is easy for us to see why. It is an absolute pleasure to have Nicola involved with the Cyber 101 programme”.

Katie Lewis - Programme Director, The Accelerator Network
